Youth jobs target By ERIN SOMERVILLE unemployment YOUTH will be the hot issue thrown at Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s during his visit to Wodonga on Friday 4 September. Independent Federal Indi MP Cathy McGowan announced on Tuesday morning 1 September her plans to address the problem with the Prime Minister during his visit, stating it continued to be a significant issue for regional residents. The Hume region’s youth unemployment rate for Hume at July this year was 27 per cent unadjusted. Ms McGowan said the discussion needed to be had with the Prime Minister. “We recently had the release of the Kitchen Table Conversation Report, and one of the really big issues is the high level of youth unemployment right across the electorate. “I need to talk to the Prime Minister about what sort of programs we are going to have for regional young people not only to keep them here, but to give them the training they need
here for the long term. “We’ve got a number of programs that are working well ... but we really need to generate jobs in this community and we need a commitment from the government.� Ms McGowan will be pushing for the government to do a review of employment opportunities for young people in regional Australia, and create incentives for employers to hire 15 to 24-year-olds. The Indi MP has also brushed off concerns of a protest that is expected to be held during the Prime Minister’s visit by Beechworth’s Refugee and Asylum Seeker Support group in a push for better treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. “It’s a free country, people can do what they need to do, but my emphasis is making sure that the veterans and their experiences of war gets recognised and honoured. “The community will do what the community does and I’m sure they’ll do it with great respect, which is the Indi way.�

Upgrades to Albury Racing Club''s track will make the club more viable. 136968 Picture: ADAM WILSON
A great day for racing club OVER $1 million will be poured into the Albury Racing Club to upgrade the local track. The club will receive $1.2 million from Racing NSW to provide new drainage for the entire track and the provision of a new irrigation system. Upgrades will also include realignment and cambering of sections of the track improving race competitiveness. The race club has missed out on numerous race meets in the past due to drainage issues. The announcement came as part of Deputy Premier and Minister for Racing Troy Grant’s visit to the Border at the weekend. “Racing contributes $3.3 billion each year to the state’s economy and employs almost 56,000 people and a lot of that is happening in our regions,” Mr Grant said.
“The government’s recent changes to wagering tax will allow Racing NSW to make more investments in regional racetracks, which are so important to our communities.” Albury MP Greg Aplin was thrilled with the result after working closely with the club to help push for the upgrades. He said the upgrades would help boost Albury’s Gold Cup carnival and ensure it stayed a highlight on the racing calendar. “We host one of the most successful Cup days with almost 17,000 people in attendance in 2015,” he said. “It is a major day for Albury and the district.” “It is fantastic the local community has received this funding injection and the upgrades can get underway to further improve racing for our region.”
Illegal deer hunting blitz A MAJOR compliance operation targeting illegal deer hunting in Victoria’s North East has been undertaken over the past week in response to concerns of illegal spotlighting activities raised by local residents. The Game Management Authority (GMA), Victoria Police and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) conducted the operation, focusing on key hunting locations around Corryong, Mitta Mitta,Tallagatta, Mansfield, Myrtleford and Murrindindi over several nights. Officers spoke to more than 70 people, educating hunters about their lawful obligations when hunting deer and enforcing all legislation relating to spotlighting deer, firearm safety, camp fires and litter.
The operation revealed a high level of compliance but also uncovered unsafe and illegal behaviour that will lead to charges against five people for illegal hunting and firearm offences. GMA officers seized four firearms, ammunition, spotlights and knives from the five. Officers also issued one official warning for hunting pig with a dog; one official warning for not being in possession of authority to hunt on private property; and two infringement notices for illegally taking firewood and felling a tree. GMA Chief Executive Officer Greg Hyams said the GMA, DELWP and Victoria Police would continue to conduct operations targeting illegal deer
hunting activity in the North East. "It seems some hunters are just not getting the message and continue to undertake illegal and unsafe activities such as spotlighting. "Their behaviour shows a great disrespect to the local community, other hunters and for the pursuit of hunting more broadly,” Mr Hyams said. “Spotlighting is only legal for pest control under strict provisions on private land. Using this method of hunting illegally goes against the best traditions of hunting in Victoria and impacts the reputation of all hunters.” The GMA encourages reporting wrongdoers on 136 186, or to Victoria Police.

Young Nats go same-sex By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE NSW Young Nationals have broken ranks with the arliamentary party’s conservative stance and backed marriage equality. The state’s Young Nationals voted in favour of supporting marriage equality at their Annual Conference in Corowa at the weekend. The result means the NSW Young Nationals are the first youth division of a conservative political party to do so in Australia. The decision conflicts with the firm stance against marriage equality taken by many Nation-
als MPs, who recently voted against allowing the Coalition to have a conscious vote on the marriage-equality bill put before Parliament last month. The NSW Young Nationals motion will see them re-affirm their 2012 position and support a free vote on changes to samesex marriage laws, record its disappointment with the Federal Parliamentary National Party, which voted against a free vote, and support marriage equality. The high suicide rate of young gay men living in regional NSW was cited as one reason to back the motion. “A young homosexual man living in regional NSW is six
times more likely to commit suicide than other members of the community”, a NSW Young Nationals statement highlighted following the debate. “This outcome (the supporting of marriage equality) continues a proud NSW Young Nats tradition of working within The Nationals to push the envelope in terms of policy, challenging our senior counterparts and leading the debate on important issues to young people in regional NSW.” Only three of the 21-member strong federal Nationals party room have publicly backed the reform.

Border launch for ‘Spirit of Anzac’ and interactive technology to bring the exhibition to life. A convoy of B-double trucks is needed to bring in the exhibition as it makes its way to 23 locations around Australia in the next 20 months. Federal Indi MP Cathy McGowan held a press conference on Tuesday morning 1 September to welcome the major event to her electorate. Ms McGowan said the exhibition’s significance was demonstrated by the Prime Minister attending the official launch. “I welcome Prime Minister Tony Abbott to Indi for the first time as Prime Minister,” Ms McGowan said. “I hope he enjoys his visit and has a chance to see how much Indi has to offer.” Ms McGowan also acknowledged the role former Nationals leader Tim Fischer played in lobbying for Wodonga to host the official opening of the exhibition.

Couch heavyweight By ERIN SOMERVILLE SECURING itself as a highlight on the city’s entertainment calendar, the Border Trust’s ‘On the Couch’ series has secured another local heavyweight to feature in this year’s event. Albury-born Charles Waterstreet has been named as this year’s celebrity to kick back on the couch and share interesting stories as part of the Border Trust’s biggest fund-raiser of the year. Waterstreet has led a colourful and fascinating life as a Sydneybased barrister, and has become the inspiration for the ABC television series ‘Rake’, loosely based on his professional and personal life. He has also penned two memoirs, produced two films, and is now a columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald. This will be the fourth event in the ‘On the Couch’ series, and organisers are looking forward to seeing the somewhat controver-
sial character open up about his life. “People have read his books and went to school with him here,” Border Trust executive officer Glenys Atkins said. “He has heard about our series and is really keen.” The event will be informal, relaxing and intimate, full of behind-the-scenes stories, photographs and memories that aren’t often exposed to the public in the guests’ high profile lives. Guests will also have the opportunity to ask questions. The ‘On the Couch’ series will run from 4.30pm to 7pm on Saturday 24 October, at Regent Cinemas Albury. Tickets are available online via www.bordertrust.org.au, at any Hume Bank branch or by cheque directly to Border Trust, P.O. Box 3288, Albury NSW. Tickets cost $55 including GST per head and include complimentary drink on arrival, plus finger food, and tickets to the raffle.

Purple and proud By ERIN SOMERVILLE DEAN Street traffic came to a halt on Friday when students and citizens teamed with the local police force to take a stand for acceptance as part of Wear it Purple Day. Donning purple, Albury Local Area Command’s Senior Constable Amy Epstein represented one of the force’s four local officers from the LGBTI community, and led an information session with secondary students from Murray High, James Fallon, Albury High, and Wodonga Secondary College Schools to help combat the bullying and harassment the gay community can often encounter. “I think it has helped raise awareness,” she said after the session. Wear it Purple Day was initiated by two passionate and committed young Australian students who decided to offer a positive response to the growing number of media reports of teenage suicides linked to homophobic bullying. Since 2012 the NSW Police Force has been actively involved in supporting this event through school visits and pre-

“This is extremely concerning for police who have a responsibility to ensure everyone in our community feels supported, safe and free from harassment, bullying and violence. “Among our key priorities over the next few years are to advocate and play an active role in education to ensure young sexuality and gender diverse people feel safe and secure in this state.” The students say they took lessons from Friday’s information session. “People should be allowed to be who they are,” Murray High School student Samantha Eley said. The event was also strongly supported by Albury’s indigenous community, who were proud to also stand up against bullying and harassment to promote a more tolerant society. “Members of the Aboriginal community are very proud to be here today,” Dr Pettina Love said. Friday’s information session finished with a proud stance of support with a walk from QE2 Square to Hovell Tree Park.

Music’s man of any parts By ERIN SOMERVILLE FROM improvising and jotting down ideas at the piano as a young teenager, Albury’s Daniel Brinsmead is now making a major name for himself in the music industry across the globe. Born and raised in Albury, Mr Brinsmead’s passion for music has taken him to Cardiff in Wales, where he is working as a composer, arranger, singer and conductor while pursuing a Master of Music in Choral Conducting. “I started composing at around 14 and I loved to improvise at the piano and scribble down my ideas,” he said. “After discovering music scoring software I became transfixed with producing my own scores and arrangements and trying them out with friends.” It didn’t take long before choral music became his passion, with 10 of his choral works published through Santa Barbara Music Publishing. On Wednesday night, his piece ‘The Call of the Winds’ took out the inaugural Isabel Menton Composition Award for unpublished and previously unperformed choral works as part of the 2015 Australian Catholic Univerity’s Choral Prize. The $4000 top prize for the new choral work was presented by deputy vice-chancellor Professor Anne Cummins on Wednesday night at ACU’s Melbourne Campus as part of the Melbourne Writers’ Festival.
THE Albury Show Society launched its 2015 Albury Show on Tuesday with sights firmly set on making it the best yet. The year is looking to be a bright one for the committee, with an infusion of new members with innovative ideas and a vision to revitalise the show to sustain it into the future. The push for change comes after feedback suggested previously families weren’t getting value for their money. This year’s event promises to be one of the biggest and best ever with a full program of activities including the Trackskill V8 Utes, Championship Woodchop and the return of the everpopular Show Parade. Secretary of the show society, Julie Walsh said that this year’s show would offer something for everyone. “As well as the old favourites such as the fireworks on both Friday and Saturday nights, Eroni’s Circus and better than ever Animal Nursery, rides, showbag court and exhibitions, this year’s event will also feature some great new additions,” Mrs Walsh said. “World champion axeman David Foster will act as an ambassador and introduce some of the best competitors in Austra-

Daffodil hope maintained By ERIN SOMERVILLE SPLASHES of yellow around Albury and Wodonga on Friday helped bring hope to hundreds of locals whose lives have been touched by cancer as part of this year’s Daffodil Day. Within a year, on the Border alone, it is predicted that 329 people will be diagnosed with cancer and 101 people will die from the disease. But despite the grim statistics, the community spent Friday rallying to find a cure. Cancer Council stallholder
volunteers were busy raising funds through selling the famous daffodil merchandise at Bunnings, Centro, Albury Base Hospital, Lavington Shopping Centre, Myer Centre, Thurgoona Plaza, and Albury Services NSW. Meanwhile, Coles supermarkets also fired up the grill to help raise funds through the humble sausage sandwich. “We’re happy to support it because it’s just a great cause,” Albury Coles store manager Andrew McGrath said.
The store had raised $800 for the Cancer Council fundraiser, but was impressed by the efforts of its brother store Coles Lavington, which had hit the $4000, making it one of the biggest fund-raisers in New South Wales. “Every year, Lavington’s customers get right behind it.” While staff at the Cancer Council are still tallying the funds for the Daffodil Day fund-raiser, they are looking forward to hitting their target of $8.5 million nationally.
Michael O'Callaghan, Judy O'Callaghan, Colin Darts, Kay Polsen, and Geoff Thow Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE prepare for Legacy Week. 143755
Honouring their legacy By ERIN SOMERVILLE WITHOUT the support of Legacy, life would be a little harder for hundreds of families in the local region. The organisation provides support for 834 war widows from Khancoban, Corowa, Holbrook, Mount Beauty, and right across the Albury Wodonga region. Established in 1932, Legacy House in Albury helps widows of all ages, from still helping those who lost a partner in World War I through to young women in their twenties who have recently lost partners in
conflict in the Middle East. With Legacy Week beginning on Monday 31 August, the service’s 49 clubs around Australia - run mostly by volunteers - will be out in force to help raise funds to continue their work. In Albury alone, 102 volunteer Legatees give up their time to help support up to 15 widows each with any red tape or queries they may have. Legacy provides a range of services for local families, whether it is supporting widows put their children through school, or organising social outings and excursions, or
supporting them with entitlements processes. “The good part of Legacy Week is all the money we raise stays in Albury Wodonga and the region, and we use that money to obviously help our widows and fund the running of Legacy House,” Albury Legacy president Colin Darts said. Legacy Week runs until 5 September. Legacy in Australia spends about $15 million on welfare each year and raises around $5 million during Legacy Week and Badge Day.
Indigo’s $900,000 bid for Rutherglen tourism renewal

By ERIN SOMERVILLE INDIGO Shire has pinned hopes of boosting Rutherglen as a tourism and economic hotspot on potential Federal Government funding. The council is hopeful its application for a $900,000 slice of the Federal National Stronger Regions Fund will be successful in completing the town’s $1.8 million vision. The funds would be used to enhance Rutherglen’s Main Street, with new connecting pathways, street furniture, removable parklets for festivals,

tree plantings, crossing points, and improving access to Lake King and the Rutherglen Wine Bottle. Mayor Bernard Gaffney said the project would have a positive effect on the Indigo region. “Importantly, the Rutherglen project will create 25 jobs during construction and 29 or more jobs after construction,” he said. “This project addresses a need for the community to adapt to change and build on our strengths, and this project will boost investment, jobs creation and ongoing economic development.”
The council has established partnerships with Rutherglen Estates and Tuileries Rutherglen, which will contribute $40,000 to the project, the Rutherglen Recreation Reserve Committee of Management contributing $49,000, and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning providing $500,000 towards the cost of remodelling Lake King. The Federal Government will announce successful applications in the National Stronger Regions Fund in December.

The art will then go on display at Wirraminna, allowing art enthusiasts to stroll through the special four hectares of wet-
lands, bush and landscaped areas to check out the unique art displays. A barbecue lunch and drinks will be available on the day which will also feature tours, art, plant stalls and entertainment. Winners of the art competition will be announced at 3pm on the Saturday with local member Greg Aplin making the presentations, including the people’s choice.

A WODONGA couple’s seven-year journey to restore an old house that was little more than a pile of stones, will be featured in a new ABC television series which debuts next week. Restoration Australia kicks off at 8.30pm next Tuesday night on the ABC with the restoration of Keith Hall near Beechworth by local furniture restorer Clay and his wife Narelle of Clarelle Furniture Restoration in Wodonga. The episode is one of a seven-episode series produced by the ABC and hosted by interior designer and historian Sibella Court. The program was recorded over the past two and half years, although Canadian Clay worked on the house for more than five years. Sibella said she had not visited the region before and was struck by the beauty of the area as well as Clay’s enthusiasm as he turned a “pile of stone” back into a house. She said it was fascinating to watch as Clay pieced the building back together in order to “fulfil his dream”. The ABC crew visited the region on several occasions over the two and a half year period filming in Beechworth and Wodonga during that time, to produce the episode which was then chosen to open the series. Keith Hall had originally been built in the 19th Century by a Scottish stonemason but had not been lived in since the 1930s and several walls had fallen over. The program will screen on 1 September at 8.30pm on the ABC.

Funds from a state grant are expected to help protect a local frog. 143398 Picture: NSW GOVERNMENT
$1 million flows in for frog mission A $1 MILLION NSW Government grant will help protect threatened species on the Border. Albury MP Greg Aplin has welcomed the funding to five groups to help protect the species that rely on environments along riverbanks in the central and south-west slopes region of NSW. The program will prioritise protecting the Booroolong frog, the yellow-spotted frog and the Tumut grevillea plant. These species are listed as endangered under the Threatened Species Conservation Act. The spotted tree frog, the Macquarie perch, the southern pygmy perch and the Murray crayfish, which are all threatened species, also will benefit because the program will improve the quality of the localised environment. Mr Aplin said land management agreements would be negotiated to secure long-term
and sustainable outcomes to protect each critical population site, with the proposed outcome to include protection of riparian areas on private land. Mr Aplin said there were 27 known Booroolong frog populations in NSW and 24 of them were in land with streams flowing through agricultural landscapes. “The species is in an ongoing state of decline primarily due to continued habitat degradation caused by inappropriate grazing and weed infestation in riparian zones,” Mr Aplin said. Mr Aplin expected the communities involved in the project would take ownership of it and maintain management regimes and necessary infrastructure beyond the project’s life. The project also would prioritise reducing the threat of weed infestation, erosion and prevalence of the amphibian chytrid fungus, which attacks the skin of frogs and makes it
difficult for them to breathe. Central Tablelands Local Land Services will receive a total of $390,000 and lead the project. South East Local Land Services will receive $125,000, Riverina Local Land Services will receive $255,000 and Murray Local Land Services will receive $200,000. All four land services will use the funding to improve and protect critical riparian habitat, monitor the targeted species and engage with their respective communities about the program. The Office of Environment and Heritage also will receive a total of $30,000 to provide expert advice, monitor the target species and help with community engagement. The grant is part of the Saving Our Species Partnership Grants program, which is funded by the NSW Environmental Trust.

THE Write Around the Murray Festival is calling for local storytellers to get up and share a true story at the upcoming Now Hear This event on Friday 11 September. For the past five years, Now Hear This has been bringing people together to hear and tell stories, recorded for broadcast on the ABC Radio National program. Now Hear This curates true stories on a theme. They are always short, between five and eight minutes, and can be funny, moving or silly. The show’s host is the lively Melanie Tait. Festival co-ordinator Annmaree Ellis said that live storytelling events were fast becoming the most popular way to spend a night out. Ms Ellis said that “after the fun and success of last year’s event, Melanie booked us 12 months in advance for this year."
“She’ll also be interviewing Tim Flannery right before Now Hear This, so it’s going to be a very big and exciting Friday night at the LibraryMuseum,” Ms Ellis said. “We’ll have a pop-up bar open and the earlybird cafe will be serving a light supper. People won’t need to go anywhere else!” Last year about 80 people gathered for the event at Write Around the Murray and heard seven local storytellers and visiting authors tell stories about ‘the first time’. You can listen to podcasts of last year’s stories from thriller author Michael Robotham, and locals Simone Engdahl and Wella Lechmere on Radio National’s program page for Now Hear This. Ms Ellis said the power of storytelling was unquestionable.
“It is our most powerful tool for effective communication and creates our most vivid and compelling forms of entertainment. We are all storytellers and we live our lives through a network of stories,“ she said. Have you got a great story to share? Of course you do. This year’s theme is ‘lost the plot’, and we’ve all experienced that at one time or another. Whether you laughed about it, cried about it, or marvelled at the string of events that unfolded, the festival would love to hear from you. To find out more and to submit a story to share on the evening, visit the Write Around the Murray website. Now Hear This is on Friday 11 September, 7.30pm, at Albury LibraryMuseum, corner Swift and Kiewa streets, phone 02 6023 8333. Cost is a gold coin donation.

A large number of Village owners attended this year, with many new residents attending for their first time since they have moved into the village. This year, there were 10 nominees for the executive positions for Riverwood’s Board, who have the responsibility of attending to the overall running of the village and making sure that everything is legal and financial, with the help of the management staff of the village. Because there are only nine on the executive, this meant that there had to be an election. While one person misses out being on the executive, it shows that

Peck’s take on war tales By ERIN SOMERVILLE AT 90 years of age, John Peck has more than a few stories to tell. From stretching his ha’pannies on a tram track while he was a school boy to expand them to pass as pennies, to watching the steamships deliver mail on the sea to and from England, he is a lively gentleman who has plenty of tales to share at Murray Gardens. Born in Melbourne, he found himself joining the navy in 1942 at the tender age of 17. World War II was still raging, and the peaceful shores of Australia would soon be under threat. Mr Peck found himself serving as part of the naval beach command, ensuring the beaches were safe for landings and were kept out of enemy hands. After training with the Yankees, and running drills in Cairns, Mr Peck soon found himself enroute to the island of Tarakan near Borneo. The job: capture the island. The Japanese were quiet, but still active when Mr Peck
landed on this Pacific island. The enemy would shell the beach and fire from their retreat in the jungle, but there were too few to deter the Australian forces. Nerves had to be tough on the beach, though. Shells could be unpredictable, and there was no way of knowing when the snipers would strike. A particular challenge was filling ships with oil. The wharf to access the ships had been partially destroyed by the Japanese, so Mr Peck and his comrades would use oil pipes as platforms to access the ships. The journey was difficult, with a 100-foot drop into the water below, and only good balance to keep you steady on the pipes. With the Japanese regularly firing on the men who sat like sitting ducks on the exposed oil pipes however, many jumped into the water to escape enemy fire. Limited rations also made eating and drinking a bland exercise. “We just didn’t have any (food or drink),” he said. “We had to adjust.
“The heavy drinkers found it hard because we only got two bottles of beer a fortnight.” Mr Peck calls himself lucky, having not lost any mates, suffered any injuries, or brought back any psychological trauma from the war. “It didn’t affect me at alll; I was one of the lucky ones.” Upon returning from war, Mr Peck married and eventually moved to the North Coast, before settling in Bermagui. It was there he lived a happy life with his wife and raising a family, until his wife sadly passed away five years ago. With a home and garden too big to maintain, and no specialist medical services nearby, Mr Peck knew it was time to move on to somewhere more suitable. He now happily calls Murray Gardens home, and you can often find him out the back of his apartment tending to his new flowerbed or telling jokes. Mr Peck is just one of the many fascinating characters to be found at Murray Gardens.

Community living can’t get better EUREKA Group Holdings are the new proud owners of this lovely Village in a delightful location at 33 Mardross Court North Albury. The Eureka Group is focused on providing quality and affordable rental accommodation for seniors and either own or manage over 2000 units, regional manager Peter Morgan together with Village manager Anne Martin informed the residents at a recent meeting: “We have made changes.” (When Eureka took over in June this year, the residents were told that there would be no changes, however this has proven to be incorrect.) “We are going to reduce your rent,” they informed the gathering. No wonder the residents didn’t mind! “In line with company policy, we are not only reducing the financial burden of our respected Seniors, we have included all their food.” “Most of our residents are on a pension of some kind, and we realise that it can be extremely difficult to budget, and so by reducing the rent, we have put a few extra dollars back in their pockets and given them some financial freedom.” The group were also extremely happy when they were also informed ... “in the past rent increase has gone hand in hand with pension increases - we believe this to be unfair, and accordingly will not be following that general practice ...” Anne has been the manager for three years now, and has fostered a real community feeling within the village. “... being there for the residents is paramount,” Anne said, “I enjoy making their life better by
helping with their needs” Eureka’s Mardross Gardens offer an affordable option for seniors - being a rental property there are no huge ingoing or outgoing expenses only a refundable bond, equal to four weeks rent, and in most cases this is available thru bond assistance. Then that’s it - just fortnightly payments which includes all your food. And for this, you get a peace of mind secure lease agreement, gated security, plus all the benefits of community living which include companionship, the social club and regularly organised social activities and events. Anne points out there is direct access to the adjoining North Albury Bowling Club for those wishing to play. The village is such that many residents have been here for a long time ... “... .we have a number of long-term residents living here and they all love it” says Anne, adding “we welcome anyone interested to come and have a village tour and chat to our residents, I am sure you will be impressed”. The well-designed units are ideal for independent living - all self-contained, separate living area, bedroom and large bathroom. All have their own private courtyard. Come and go as you please. Invite family and friends. As Anne says “... its your home, just like any other rental property except for the many extras. All the units, 50 in total, are on the ground floor and easy access around the village via pathways is ensured. The community room provides a popular venue for socialising and community func-
Grace and Brian can’t stop smiling at Mardross. 143596 tions and is where meals are served. The village has a commercial quality kitchen easily able to cater for the residents’ meals on a daily basis. “ ... we have a continually changing menu, sourcing our supplies from the local establishments. We encourage residents to offer menu suggestions and are sympathetic to individual’s needs.” Mardross Gardens as the name suggests is in a lovely garden setting, which is maintained at no expense to the residents. While there is a selection of units currently available, once the news about the new rates circulates, it is most likely they will be snapped up.

So if you think this type of living is for you, and mind you why wouldn’t it, then you would be well advised to inquire sooner rather than later? Just by chatting with Anne, you can really tell she is truly passionate about what she does and is a genuinely caring person who puts the needs and best interests of her residents before anything else.

Tried, tested Kiwi knitwear THE Wool Company is a retailer with a difference. It is a family-owned and operated business which started out over 50 years ago buying wool from farmers. It diversified into selling New Zealand-made merino and merino possum clothing online, by mail and through their country store in the Central North Island village of Utiku. The Wool Company stocks a fabulous range of clothing for men, women, children and babies, as well as their signature yarn range ‘Utiku Wool’. There is a wide selection of labels synonymous with quality New Zealand-made knitwear, these include Optimum, Native World, Merino Mink and Silverdale. In addition to these labels, the company has their own range of women’s clothing in both merino and merino possum. These designs and colours are exclusive to The Wool Company, and styled with their customers in mind. Twenty years ago, they sent out 500 catalogues featuring fringes of yarn - next year their current Winter 2015 catalogue is a 72-page full colour catalogue, which was posted out to 35,000 customers worldwide. While many thought knitting was a dying art, the recent resurgence of knitting groups has seen the demand for Utiku Wools further increase. The yarns sit comfortably alongside a colourful array of merino and merino and possum knitwear, merino tops, lingerie, thermals, socks, hats gloves ands carves. The Wool Company philosophy is simple, “To offer a broad range of quality New Zealand-made merino and merino possum clothing, at competitive prices, able to be purchased worldwide, across several different selling platforms.”
In doing so, the company strives to achieve excellence in customer service. It has won a Rotary Ethics Award as well as a Business Award for the Best Rural Business in the Rangitikei area. Having spent over half a century in the wool industry, The Wool Company is passionate about wool, and along with their suppliers are very committed to supplying quality New Zealand-made wool clothing.

WESTMONT VILLAGE
~ Prestige Detached 2 and 3 Bedroom Homes ~ Community Centre ~ Caravan / Boat Storage ~ Cafe ~ Health & Wellbeing Centre ~ Bowling Green Anne and David When we were in our late sixties we had not considered moving, but as Anne’s parent’s health started to decline, they moved into Westmont and were very happy here. As we got to know the staf better and saw the development of the total facility irst hand, we began to think about living in the village. We were looking for more support, reduced responsibility and security and we believed that Westmont ofered all three. We moved into the village 14 months ago and have been warmly welcomed. Looking back, it was a great move for us and we made the right decision at the right time. We have begun a new and exciting chapter of our lives. he people here are lovely, the administration is excellent and the staf are unfailingly kind and helpful. As Westmont grows more activities are ofered and it will be interesting to see what happens next. We would do it all over again.
Valmai I moved to Westmont Village two years ago with the assistance of family and Westmont staf. It certainly was a rewarding move at this time of my life. As a Village Resident I enjoy attending functions and have made many new friendships thus creating interaction amongst the Residents. One of the best things about living at Westmont is the security and friendly atmosphere.

“I’ve found a new home and a new lease on life.” Sandy bought a Villa at Wodonga Gardens. Villas available from $210,000 to $420,000
“Everyone is really friendly and I’m part of a real community.”
After Sandy’s husband passed away she needed a new start. “I was visiting my sister when I saw an advert for Wodonga Gardens.” At Wodonga Gardens Sandy found a new community for herself and her pet cat. “I love the gated entrance and emergency call button system. Best of all I’ve made so many new friends. It’s the happiest I’ve been in years.”

Top tips for downsizing a large home DOWNSIZING from a large home and garden can provide more opportunities to make the most out of retirement. It’s also a chance to take stock of what’s important, declutter and simplify your life. Top five downsizing tips to help simplify, think big and be happy: 1. Simplify the sorting process. Decide on a system to help you with the sorting process. Perhaps, put colour-coded stickers on items as you decide where they should go, sort items into separate piles, make room by room lists or create a spreadsheet of your decisions. Choose a system that works best for you. 2. Only keep what you will use. Typically, downsizers keep one-third to one-half of their belongings. This may seem like a lot, however you’ll likely uncover a great deal of unneeded items throughout the sorting process. Only keep what you use regularly or items with high sentimental value. The kitchen and garage are great places to start. Most people don’t need 10 mixing bowls and won’t get emotional over ladders and shovels. Unneeded items or furniture can be sold or donated.
3. Plan your furniture layout. TO help get a realistic idea of what furniture will fit into your new home, ask for a floor plan of your new home. Then, get the measuring tape out and sketch in a furniture layout, examining the plans realistically. This planning process means you won’t end up having to reassess after you decided. 4. Be clever with storage. Think about the storage available in your new home and work out what can go where. It’s also a good idea to do some research on clever storage solutions such as shoe hangers, hooks and under-bed storage boxes that will help make the most of your new space. Invite friends or family members to come and help out. Not only can they make the sorting process more fun, you’ll probably appreciate their objective opinions on what to take.

Micro community within Albury Wodonga AT Elmwood, it’s the difference that makes it stand apart. Each resident has a different story to tell, each home is, but you’ll ÀQG WKH VDPH VHQVH RI KDSSLQHVV satisfaction, and quality of life each Elmwood resident is enjoying since moving in. The unique concept of Elmwood has won over a range of residents looking for friendly, communityminded, retirement living, without the structure and fees of a retirement village. Each resident proudly owns their home, and are happy to know it’ll stay that way. With 130 beautiful new homes in the estate, and over a dozen different plans- each one modern, environmentally friendly, and tailored to residents’ needs and wants- it’s time to consider Elmwood for your next move. Jim and Sylvia MacDowell have done just that. For the past three months, the couple have called a spacious,
light, and modern Elmwood house their home. Being a close walking distance to town, a stone-throw to a GP, pharmacy, and cafĂŠ, on a main bus route, and in the heart of a friendly neighbourhood, they couldn’t be happier. “It suits us very well,â€? Jim said. “This is, in our experience, unique. “One of the great advantages is that it is ours and we own it. “A lot of retirement places aren’t entirely your own.â€? Coming from a nearby urban estate where everyone was too busy for a chat with their neighbours, it was also the friendliness of Elmwood that won the MacDowells over. “We immediately met other people and other couples,â€? Sylvia said. “Even before we had moved in we were invited over for a chat and drink with a few of the people here.â€? The high energy rating on the
home also makes it an affordable place to live, with thoughtful design, and innovative and environmentally friendly measures meaning utility bills are never a big worry. The convenient location also means it’s the perfect place for the grandkids to stop by for scones and Anzac biscuits after school. With plenty of room in the home for the
family, Sylvia and Jim always enjoy oy having their grandchildren stop by to make a start on their homework, fuel up on some delicious homemade cooking after a busy school day, or even stay the night in the couple’s guest bedrooms that are always there to comfortably welcome family and friends. But it isn’t just the MacDowells

Vera’s home is buzzing with four grandchildren, who have all popped in to say hello. Vera and her husband never intended to spend their retirement years at Elmwood, but after seeing the beautiful new designs decided to change their future plans. “We had already bought a property that was going to be for retirement, but after we saw this we decided to sell and come into something new.” The move has paid off, with many of Vera’s friends and neighbours from Barnawartha having moved into nearby streets in their later years.

Holiday road THE new vacation will stand on its own. That’s the tonguein-cheek line the 2015 version of National Lampoon’s beloved ‘Vacation ‘ film promises, and it lives up to it. Kind of. Taking on a classic is never easy, especially one as beloved and witty as the original Vacation franchise. But with a smart use of meta-humour, outrageous and well-cast kids, and a sense of the film never taking itself too seriously, Vacation just happens to hit some kind of grotesque mark. It’s 30-odd years later, and the Griswold’s Rusty played by Ed Helms is all grown up. His family is made up of frustrated wife Debbie played by Christi-
na Applegate, an awkward teenage son, and a brat of a youngest child who likes to play the bully and flout his foul-mouth. Determined to improve his family life and put the spark back into their vacations, Rusty decided to take a road-trip down memory lane, and ultimately across America, to re-visit Walley World. As predicted, the new vacation is hardly an improvement on the one three decades ago, and the plotline also rings with the sound of deja vu throughout the film. However, these echoes are a lot less PG and subtle than what would have been allowed 30 years ago. The film is rampant with big-name appearances and reprisal of characters, such as Chris Hemsworth as the famous brother-in-law with an impres-

sive and inappropriate package he is eager to deliver, Leslie Mann as the quirky Audrey Griswold, and Charlie Day as the suicidal river-rafting guide. Chevy Chase even makes a reprisal as Clark Griswold, but his limited screen time is unsatisfactory and seems to miss a lot of the naive charm that has previously brought a spark to Clark’s character. So while the Vacation does stand on its own, it’s the crude, rude, and crass moments that propel it into a different film, and one which you probably won’t want to take your children down memory lane with you. There are a lot of mindless chuckles though, and the movie has an innocent heart, so buckle up and take a journey with the Griswolds if you dare. - Erin Somerville

Fair focus on real estate with new branch professional level of service to the consumer. “It is a very strong initiative by the Baird Government and in particular Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation Victor Dominello,” Mr Gunning said. “We are impressed by the level of co-operation from Estate Agents Co-Operative (EAC) and Australian Livestock and Property
Agents Association (ALPA), as well as the Minister’s Office and Andrew Gavrielatos, Fair Trading Assistant Commissioner, who is the head of the new division. “We will be working on practical resolutions to some of the issues plaguing our industry including underquoting, entry levels to the industry,
ongoing training and property spruikers. “Mr Gavrielatos will also hold the responsibility of the establishment of a Real Estate Qualifications Review Committee. It is great to see that Premier Mike Baird is following through on his election promise to engage with the property industry,” Mr Gunning said.

Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide
All I want for Christmas is ... IF HAVING your family sitting down for Christmas lunch in a bespoke dining room or hosting New Year’s Eve festivities on a brand-new entertaining deck sounds good, then get moving on that new home build you’ve been dreaming of! While most of us feel that Christmas is an event too far in the future to be thinking about, it is top of mind for the builders at G.J. Gardner Homes. Chris Moscher from G.J. Gardner Homes Albury said that this mid-point of the year signalled the last chance to get started on a build project and have it completed in time to enjoy the festive season in your new home. “Business increases by an average of 25 per cent for us and inquiries reach their highest peak at this time of year with all customers having one thing in common; they want to be in their new home by Christmas,” said Chris. “Between now and January our teams try their hardest to get builds completed in time for Christmas. We hate to disappoint anyone but any contracts that start after August it is unlikely we can fulfil the timing, so anyone interested only has a couple of weeks left. “There is still hope but people need to make that last big decision to push ahead and get in to see a builder as soon as possible!”

In the spirit of Christmas, here are five tips that will get you closer to receiving the ultimate gift - a brand-new house! 1. Research your dream home. Have clear ideas about the materials you want to use, the fixtures you want to include and
LD HO
LD HO
the overall colour and textural theme that suits you best. Visit a display home as it’s the number one point of inspiration. 2. Be clear with your builders about your ideal end result. The more detail you can provide as to what is important for you in a home, the better they can assist you in finding the perfect design. 3. Trust the advice of your builders when choosing a design to suit your build site. There may be specific features you want to include in your house, but if your site doesn’t allow for them, ask your builders to suggest alternatives that will be close to the original concept. 4. Work off existing plans. The more modifications and changes you make, the longer the process will take. Using an offthe-plan design takes all the guess work out of a build and ensures you can stick to a budget. The experts have done all the work for your already. 5. Stick with your original decisions. Usually if a build goes over time or budget, it is because of changes to features and fixtures cropping up once the build has commenced. Share your vision with the designers and let them help with recommendations. For more information on building a new home call Chris Moscher at G.J Gardner Homes Albury.

Think beyond spring The geography of your home can be a contributing factor to the ideal time to sell. In hot or humid areas for instance, your property may be more appealing during the cooler months. Or your home may have particular features
Focus on the key drivers Should the season influence whether - and precisely when - you list your house for sale or buy another home? Perhaps. But other factors deserve higher priority, like whether your home is ready to be shown to buyers; whether you have the time to prepare your home for weekend inspections; and whether you have discussed home loan options with your lender to develop a buying budget for your next place. These are the key drivers that should really determine the ‘right’ time for you to start your buying and selling activity.

YOUR ability to secure a great price for your home, or even attract multiple buyers, can hinge on the time of year. Spring is widely regarded as the ideal time to sell property. Warmer weather attracts buyers onto the streets and into open home inspections; our gardens tend to look their best in spring; and many buyers want to be settled in their new home in time for the looming festive season. Don’t despair however if you are selling your home at a different time of year. The seasons don’t always dictate the best outcome. Indeed, selling in spring may deliver the best price for your current home but it could also mean competing with more buyers for your next property - and that can mean paying a higher price.
like an open fireplace or underfloor heating that are best showcased during the cooler months. Remember too, with potentially fewer buyers around in winter or autumn, you could enjoy faster turnaround times on professional services like your solicitor or conveyancer. If you are selling in winter, be sure to choose inspection times when your home’s interior receives maximum sunlight.

Local Sport Albury takes a break By TANIA PHILLIPS MINOR Premiers Albury will take a much-needed break this weekend as the finals start in earnest in the Ovens and Murray First grade competition. The defending premiers finished four points ahead of Lavington to earn the double chance in the finals and a break this week - despite suffering their second loss of the year in the final round, going down to Wangaratta Rovers. The win kept Rovers off the bottom of the ladder with the wooden spoon instead going to Myrtleford. Rovers pulled off the upset of the year, beating the defending premiers and minor premiers by 16 points at home at Findlay Oval on Saturday. Daniel McCullough kicked four as Rovers came home to win12.5.77 to 8.13.61 over the competition’s red-hot
favourites. The game was close all day with the teams locked at 3.2.20 each at the first break and the Tigers skipping away to a 10-point lead at the main break. But Rovers weren’t going to go down without a fight and held their more fancied opponents to just one goal and three points in the third stanza, while kicking five goals two at the other end to set up the impressive victory. Second-placed Lavington had a more impressive finish to the home and away season with a solid 86 victory over Wodonga in Wodonga on Saturday. Lavington finished the game 19.15.129) to Wodonga’s 6.7.43. Their opponents in this weekend’s semi-final, Wondonga Raiders had a shaky end to the season going down to last year’s losing grand finalists Yarrawonga, 9.11.65) to 4.12.36.
The remaining final round matches saw North Albury defeat CorowaRutherglen 10.11.71 to 10.9.69 while Myrtleford defeated Wangaratta 15.16.106 to 8.5.53. On Saturday Lavington take on Wodonga Raiders for the right to play Albury the following week while the elimination final on Sunday sees North Albury and Yarrawonga battling to keep their finals hopes alive. Ladder: Albury 64, Lavington 60, Wodonga Raider 48, North Albury 48, Yarrawonga 40, Wodonga 24, Wangaratta 24, Corowa-Rutherglen 20, Wangaratta Rover 16, Myrtleford 16.

Big crowd at junior finals MORE than 3000 people were on-hand at the weekend to watch the finals of this year’s Albury Wodonga Junior Football League competition.

Lavington continued their impressive run in the junior competition with a solid 48 point win over Albury in the coveted Under 15 Elwyn Langford Cup.

Have a run at sports festival, with 250 ORGANISERS are hoping to attract 250 competitors to the third annual Bendigo Bank Tallangatta Sports Festival half marathon to be held on 27 September. With more than $8000 in cash, prizes and awards up for grabs across all events, the Bendigo Bank Tallangatta Sports Festival is quickly establishing itself as a major event for North East Victoria according to Mark Jones of Events Tallangatta. “For this year the event organisers have taken the major step of bringing the Festival forward a month to better suit competitors in the premier event the IGA Tallangatta Half Marathon,” he said. “The IGA Tallangatta Half Marathon invites you to set your PB on one of the most spectacular half marathon courses in Australia with
1.2km of Foot Bridge in the middle as you cross the iconic Hume Weir before heading back to Tallangatta. “For your efforts you will be awarded a solid steal custom-struck finisher's medal that depicts the Sandy Creek Bridge as well as an official finisher's singlet to acknowledge your achievement. “With $1000 cash available to both male and female runners if they can beat the course record, if the record stands the cash pool will continue to rise by $1000 each year and will be awarded every time the record falls. “Last year saw both the male and female records fall to Hirotaka Tanimnoto - 1:09:31 (Male) and Ellie O’Kane - 1:19:46 (Female).” He said organisers are looking to establish the Tallangatta Half as
a premier event for the north east investing a lot time, money and resources into the race from the get go. “It has always been a running event organised by runners for runners,” Mark said. “With full nutrition on course, drink stations every 3-4km and great value for money.” Mark said the sleepy hollow burst into life for the Bendigo Bank Tallangatta Sports Festival. “Tallangatta will welcome all competitors as the town centre closes to accommodate for the third annual Tallangatta Sports Festival held in the central park,” he said. He said as well as the half marathon, there were events for the whole family with the festival offering 2km, 5km and 10km as well as
the Tallangatta Strong Man/Woman. “All running events are conducted on closed roads and are electronically timed and are suitable for the whole family,” he said. “There is a fun family atmosphere with give a ways, prizes and awards for all age divisions.“Whether you are looking to pocket the cash, set yourself a new PB, cheer on a friend or take the opportunity to get out into the sun with the family, the Tallangatta Sports Festival has an event to suit you.” And all money goes to St Michael's Primary school, the SES, CFA and a small pool to develop and support more events in the North East. Entries for all events are now open at www.eventstallangatta.com. au
